There's no sender and no subject and the email itself is tiny. Who is sending these and why would they do that?
What are these 0.63kb emails?

Oh, most of them are filtered out by my home computer, but I still see them on webmail.
I'm just wondering what the point of them is. Why do people send those? Are they like some kind of test to see what computers are likely to read spam? If these little ones get through, do the follow up with the real stuff?

My best 15 second guess is that it is Malware. Maybe a Trojan Downloader or something. Leave it alone.

It could also be one of the spam houses out there who is testing to find "active" email addresses to add to or maintain on their spam list. If they have access to the server logs --and most do-- they can tell what emails are accepted and which are rejected from the logs, without even having to provide a sending email address.
If there's no content and no attachment I rather doubt it's any sort of virus to be concerned about. Just a spammer checking to see if your email address is still active so that they can then sell it as part of their list to 1,000 other little spammer wannabe's.
